This is my ninth visit to Wanaka. This time I chose this newly built apartment in Albert Town. The apartment was built only in the past two years, so the cleanliness of the house is impeccable, and the interior decoration is also great. The two-story one-bedroom studio is very suitable for couples or families with babies. The kitchen is fully equipped, although we didn't cook. In addition, there are supermarkets and restaurants in the area where the apartment is located, so there is no need to worry about shopping and eating. It only takes a few minutes to drive to the center of Wanaka town or Lake Hawea, which is extremely convenient. In addition, the apartment is close to a river, and you can go for a walk when the weather is good. The scenery is nice.
Unfortunately, my stay was not very comfortable. The soundproofing is very poor, and there is a nightclub nearby that plays very loud music late into the night, making it difficult to sleep. For those who drive, can park on the roadside across the street for free after 6pm. In addition, the shower water pressure was very low, which was disappointing.
We've been touring around the lower South Island for a little over 2 weeks, staying at motels for generally about 2 nights at a time. The Sierra Motel ranks as one of the nicest we have seen in the whole trip. The exterior looks dated but the interior is fabulous - large, clean, comfortable, and modern. There is a large TV (with basic Sky - would like to access Netflix), king bed, two lounge chairs and a good work/dining space as well as a large shower with two shower heads, and a large outdoor area with an exterior table and 2 chairs. We enjoyed a G&T outside our unit in the fading afternoon sun - very pleasant. Booking through Trip.com also gave us a very competitive price and 25% better that anything the motel would offer, so we were very happy indeed.
Kleiner Campingplatz mit unterschiedlichen Zimmer bzw. Stellplatzkategorien. Wir hatten ein Cottage mit Kochnische und Bad.
Super sauber, voll ausgestattet. Schon etwas älter, aber alles in Tadellosem Zustand.
Die Lage ist phänomenal. Nur ein paar Schritte zur Surat Bay, in der man fast jederzeit Seelöwen zu sehen bekommt!
Wir würden in Catlins Haven wieder hier übernachten.
1. Good location, right in the center of town but very quiet. A 3-minute walk from the intercity bus and Queenstown station orbus (to Arrowtown, to the airport station). Just across the road. Near I-site, Internet celebrity burger shop, etc.
2. The hotel is clean and the kitchen is large. The beds are comfortable and adequate heating.
3. The price is very good
Always my favourite place to stay when we go to The Catlins. Beach is nearby, sunset view is awesome. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.
Great location and setting - This is a must stay in a warm summers day with excellent outdoor living areas to be enjoyed surrounded by the local water bird life. very little if any road noise.
The gentleman at the hotel's front desk left a lasting impression; he always served with a smile and had a great attitude. During my stay, if I had any issues, he was very enthusiastic in helping me resolve them. The location and environment are superb; I got to stroll along Lake Wakatipu every day, which was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Also, a Chinese lady at the Queenstown site store helped me out when I couldn't find my booking because of a website error. She communicated with the other party to resend the order, which really put my mind at ease. Much appreciated!
I had high expectations after staying at the Haka House in Wanaka which were not met. This branch is merely a big old house turned into hostel. the room was small, dark and smelly.Only positive things were location and helpfulf staff.
Very Good

GGuest UserThis hotel offers excellent service and boasts new facilities. The rooms are incredibly quiet, ensuring a very comfortable night's sleep. I highly recommend staying here when you visit New Zealand. The amenities are comprehensive, and the self-check-in and check-out process is very smart. It's definitely a top choice for accommodation during your travels.
KKhoThe place is spacious and the location is excellent. It is right next to the main road. After watching the little penguins, you can buy fast food nearby before returning to the hostel. The room is spacious and there are staff on duty at night. You can park at the door, which is very convenient
HHuobatuThe hotel environment is particularly good, the proprietress is a Chinese sister, especially good, give me milk, it is very quiet, and very close to the scenic spot, there is a McDonald's and gas station ten meters away, there is a fish and chips 100 meters away, and the Chinese are also delicious but not friendly. In short, the hotel is very clean, the location is good, convenient and fast, parking is very convenient
AAnonymous UserGreat location to base yourself for a few days of seeing Queenstown. (It really is that close.)
Nice and friendly staff at check in and throughout. Most helpful.
Ents included TV, books, games, couple of guitars, ocassional theme evenings. Couple of outdoor spaces.
Bathrooms are fine although if fairly or more than fairly tall, the shower heads are surprisingly low down.
I understand the difficulties with this given the time of year but a floor by floor deep clean is probably needed. Whilst I am no member of the fun police, having numerous notes across the place emphasising the need to keep noise down after 10pm, I can see why this might be a bit galling when the staff who live there alongside guests do not abide by this - especially when you have no idea who is a worker who is off duty.
Might be impossible given temperatures, but it wasn't ideal to climb into my bunk in the pitch black (other than the light from my phone) and find a cat sleeping there (honestly!) I like a cat but if I hadn't had my phone lit, I would never have known and would have landed forcefully on it. I actually found it quite funny but a lot wouldn't. All hell could have broken loose if I had landed on it. (Amusingly and no joke, I was watching Don't F*** with Cats at the time and had paused it while I climbed in. Perhaps it was written...)
Anyway, really nice spot and right for the price.
Cheers!
GGuest UserI was really disappointed to find that the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned when I checked in. The shower area had visible stains, and the toilet was extremely dirty — there were even traces of the previous guest’s waste left inside. When I informed the front desk, they said the cleaning staff had already left and the room couldn’t be cleaned until 3pm the next day. No apology, no compensation. This was completely unacceptable and very disappointing.
MM15515****Highly recommended! It's a suite design with a kitchen that not only has a stove but also a microwave and oven, and all the basic cooking utensils are provided. Both the living room and bathroom offer lake views, which is incredibly pleasant. The TV supports screen casting, and the bathroom facilities are quite modern. There's even a very small balcony, big enough for two people to stand on. I got a great deal when I booked, but normally it's about 1300-1400 RMB per night. It's a fantastic option if you don't fancy the local food and want to cook your own meals.
__WeChat50082****Our stay was absolutely perfect. The stunning scenery speaks for itself, truly like living inside a postcard. But what really elevated the experience was the hotel's service: the staff were always smiling, greeted us proactively, and the room cleaning was meticulous. Any issues we had were resolved quickly. This attention to detail and thoughtful service, combined with the enchanting environment, significantly enhanced our overall happiness during the stay. Highly recommended.
It's about a 10-minute walk to the town center, but the big advantage here is the convenient parking – parking is usually the biggest hassle in Queenstown. Most hotels in New Zealand have a check-out time around 10:00 AM, but if you talk to them, you can usually extend it to 11:00 AM.
::))We were thrilled to be the very first guests to leave a review for this stunning new resort! The location is fantastic, just a quick 10-minute drive to town, and our room offered breathtaking views of the Shot River, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere.
We arrived around 10 PM, and the hotel reception was impeccably prepared, warmly welcoming us and even upgrading our room! It looked exactly like the photos, with a design and interior that perfectly captured the vibe we were seeking. They had welcome drinks waiting for us, and we appreciated that milk was available on request at any time.
The breakfast was a delightful a la carte experience, featuring an array of delicious options. The serving staff was not only attentive and kind but also provided excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants!
We also indulged in room service, which exceeded our expectations in both taste and punctuality. Although the fitness room and movie room were still under construction, the small maintenance issue we encountered in the bathroom was addressed swiftly by the staff.
Our stay has left us eager to return and see the final results of this new gem. I highly recommend this resort to everyone!
